This fix also stops mhttpd from serving the /etc/passwd file.

BTW, "the fix" in mhttpd unconditionally creates /Custom/Path and sets it to the value of $MIDASSYS. This path 
seems to be prepended to all file paths, so this fix also breaks the normal use of /Custom/xxx that contain the full 
path name of the file to serve...

Looks like file serving in mhttpd got messed up and needs to be reviewed. I still strongly believe that mhttpd should 
be serve arbitrary files (only serve files explicitly listed in ODB) or as next best option, only serve files from 
subdirectories explicitly listed in ODB.
